Fink Viggy, Ask, ask, ask. Everyone here was in your lil' excited boat at one time, some just forget. You'll find that you'll get an answer to almost every question, even "How long does it take for my Spirits Corner order to arrive", which must be #1 on the Here We Go Again Parade.

Sebor is pretty good. I think you will be satisfied with it until you work up to buying more expensive stuff. I just recently started imbibing and I still think it tastes quite good. It's all trial and error anyways, so forget the reviews. Find what you like and stick with it.

Thanks for your advice. I have another absinthe question. Obviously its not some sort of "high" or whatever, but would you guys drink it were it not for an added sensation from absinthe versus liquer? I haven't drank abinthe yet, but from reading books like For Whom the Bell Tolls, it seems that it gives a good feeling that is better than simply drinking alcohol.

After trying Sebor a few different ways, I found it pretty tasty on the rocks, sweetened, and diluted at about 1:1. Ditto Zman's recommendation: Emile 68 is very, very good, and on a per litre basis, much cheaper than Sebor.

I like Sebor, but I wouldn't call it traditional and its main problem is its cost. There are better and more "traditional" products out there, in some cases for half the price.

Sebor is kinda like a cross between Jagermeister and a(very) watered down ouzo. IMHO, it is down on the lower end of the absinthe spectrum, but at the high end of the Czech products. Give it a try, it probably doesn't louche (mine don't)and give it lots of sugar. If you really want to try a decent absinthe (again, only my humble opinion)order a bottle of Un Emile68 from www.absintheonline.com

I'm new to this board and I'm just looking for a cheap high with absinthe. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No i'm just kidding, but I do have a question. I'm new to absinthe and I just bought a bottle of Sebor this weekend; however, i read somewhere it wasn't any good. What I want to know, is Sebor good at all? Is still genuine absinthe or just a marketing gimmick?
